BLOGTOBER 10/24/2023: DREAM DEMON (1988)

This is one of those movies I really deeply enjoyed, but if you asked me what it was about you'd think I was lying because I'd have a hard time telling you! It has kind of a Freddy Kreugerish premise as you might expect, in which a pair of young women are dragged bodily into one another's nightmares where they are pursued by deranged perverts; they have to unravel the mystery of what is causing this phenomenon, which has something to do with the dark history of the house where they are staying. The actual solution to this mystery is really confusing, and so is the path to the final revelation, which is mostly pretty aimless--but thankfully it is also tense and terrifying, with wonderful makeup and special effects and overall great design sense, and honestly two of the most adorable gal pals you have ever seen.

I feel to need to say that I'm a straight woman and so when I speak about the adorableness of Jemma Redgrave and Kathleen Wilhoite, I'm not being infantilizing or just boning out. I realize I'm being very "no homo" right now, but there's plenty of film fans whose viewing habits are directed by the fact that certain performers make them horny, which is like normal and all but I think not a very interesting way to watch movies or even enjoy performances. Unless we're talking about Jeffrey Combs or Peter Cushing or someone I personally think is hot, then all bets are off obviously. But Jemma Redgrave and Kathleen Wilhoite are just so very adorable! It is just a fact.

Meanwhile Jimmy Nail and Timothy Spall are extraordinarily frightening and intense, but especially Timothy Spall. I love that he's a sophisticated enough actor to be in things like SPENCER and LIFE IS SWEET, but also fully capable of playing horrible fucking creatures in weird genre movies. I like imagining that the Queen had to watch all of his movies including DREAM DEMON before making him Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

And speaking of the Queen, the characters Nail and Spall play are incredibly sinister, intrusive paparazzi who prey upon "Diana" (Redgrave), the pretty, virginal blonde fiancee of an aristocratic Falklands War hero. It's impossible not to assume that this was inspired by Diana Spencer's ill-fated induction into the royal family in 1981, and chilling to think that DREAM DEMON was made 9 years before her essential murder at the hands of the press. All of the scenes with Spall and Nail are thoroughly hair-raising--the one thing this movie has over ELM STREET is that we have to sort of backburner Freddy's pedophilia in order to enjoy that series, while the sexual violence and scenes of child abuse in DREAM DEMON are right in your face and highly effective; but the paparazzi thing becomes really disturbing because of the real-life event that it seems to foretell. Basically, I'm saying that I highly recommend this movie, even if it's hard to describe what it is literally about!

So years before Kathleen Wilhoite played an irresponsible, substance-abusing hippie chick with a codependent relationship with her sibling who never should have been trusted with a child on Gilmore Girls she played an irresponsible, substance-abusing hippie chick with a codependent relationship with her sibling who never should have been trusted with a child on ER.

Exact same character but with a grittier and more frustrating character arc. It culminates in AU Liz bringing her six year old to a crack house (where she is promptly kidnapped) and then being shuttled off to rehab once the kid is rescued, at which point the show forgets about her.

Anyway, before all of that this is Chloe Lewis (AU Liz)'s birth scene. The episode was directed by Quentin Tarantino and aired in 1995. It's actually one of my favorite TV episodes, ever, and one of my favorite TV scenes as well.

I'm pretty sure something like this went down when Jess Mariano was born.

Dream Demon (1988)

"Look, I don't have all the answers. But... there's some kind of energy being passed between you two. This can happen between women who are close. Even their menstrual cycles become synchronised."

"Aw, come on, I've only known her for two days, y'know, all this 'astral body' shit's for hippies."

"Jenny, please."

"No! I - come on, I was awake, I was conscious. I'd drunk almost no alcohol, I had no drugs, I was - I was rational, I was totally straight. But if I hadn't woken Diana up when I did, I wouldn't be standing here right now, I'd be a fucking ghost."

Nail and #Spall were of course both well known at this point for their starring roles in Auf Wiedersehen Pet but it's nice to see them channel an #entirely different energy as a grotesque pair of paparazzi turned into monsters (a kind of spirit of misogyny made manifest)#redgrave is utterly brilliant and sparks off wilhoite very well. greenstreet is sort of wonderful too in a horrible way; there's a #disconnect between the dream version of him (abusive) and the real version (loving) but it's in seeing the way the former bleeds into the #latter that makes this film something special. a very good very smart film but not for those of weak constitution #great poster too. i wonder if Shakespeare's Sister saw that...

Dream Demon (1988)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

It’s so unfair that so many people call this a nightmare on elm street rip off.

The only thing that’s similar if the fact both main characters have nightmares.

I love the way the dreams are presented and the surreal feeling that the movie has!

Road House (1989) Review

James Dalton is a bouncer who was hired to clean up one of the worst bars in a small Missouri town, what he didn’t realise was that trying to do this would see the villianious local entrepreneur Brad Wesley to rebel against it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Continue reading Road House (1989) Review

I have an unfinished thread on my twitter of every Gilmore Girls cast member to ever appear in ER (there's a lot!). It's unfinished because later seasons of ER are...not good. But I'm still deluded that I'll someday manage to get through it, and I dont use twitter anymore, so I'm moving it here instead. Also, I missed Keiko Agena's appearance in season 5, so my plan to rectify it was to mention it when she appears in season 12...I'm not sure why I'm explaining myself literally no one but me cares about this.
